Victory is Mine!

I knew it! at least that is what it says on the back of the 2 disc set of Challange of the Super Friends the First Season I got a few weeks back.

Victory is yours with this complete collection of DC Super Heroes!

It literally says that on the back. Anyway I can't begin to describe how much I enjoy this cartoon. Not because of nostalgia, all though that is nice, I have a vague recollection of pointing out the plotholes in this show when I was 2. No the real reason I enjoy the show is that I can't keep up and and the storylines appear to have been written by someone with some uber-acute form of ADD, a super ADD strain if you will, combined with some sort of crappy procrastinating meth induced writing habit. Its fascinating. I plan to write a couple of episode reviews sometime so you can get the feel for it, although i've watched a half dozen times and still can't get the feel for it. But i dig the repeated use of the term super-fools.

My favorite part though has to be the legion of Doom and their needlesly complex, unpredictable, and convoluted attempts to do stuff. I say stuff because I really haven't figured what it is they are trying to do . Sometimes its to kill the Superfriends, sometimes its to rule the world, once it was to rule Africa, once it was to beat up an old lady in the swamp, once it was to help the superfriends for no other reason than to confuse them and myself. You get the idea.
SO here is the Legion of Doom plan from the first episode, Wanted the Superfriends.

phase1: Luthor has a dream machine that makes the superfriends comit crimes like looting Ft. Knox and stealing the crown jewels, and makes the Superfriends think it was a dream.
Superfriends turn themselves in, but the guards are cheetah and bizarro in disguise and the jail cell shoots to the sun with the superfriends in it. Oh and there is a muscle freezing ray. Move into hall of justice

phase2: Luthors mutation device uses the justice league satellite to transform everyone on earth into cheetahs and bizarros to commit crimes. why does Luthor explicitly refer to this as phase2? I don't know!!!

phase 3: Throw money around the hall of Justice, shoot cash with cold ray and try to run superfriends over with a street sweeper.

But the superfriends escape and try to stop billions of chettahs and bizarros( 1 or 2 at a time) and Alfred Bizarro trys to stop batman and robin from figuring out they have to reverse polarity on the justice league satellite to turn everyone back to normal by driving them off a cliff and oh no my brain is hemmoraging again.. but it feels sooooo good.
